Event description

Description

The friends & family of Chaz Newton-Smith cordially invite you to an exhibition and art sale of fine art and prints from Chaz Newton-Smith and friends.

BACKGROUND

Originally from Bristol, Chaz developed his painting skills studying Fine Art BA (Hons) at the University of Northampton. He moved to Manchester in 2004 and has since focused the majority of his work on large urban landscapes, many of which are based on buildings in and around Manchester. His distinctive, oil-on-canvas style leaves plenty of large, textural brushstrokes packed with plenty of power and punch. Chaz also uses a digital workflow in the same style as his oil paintings. In December 2018 Chaz was involved in serious traffic accident while commuting by bike to his day job at Manchester Airport. This resulted in multiple, significant injuries for which Chaz is still in recovery and, for the foreseeable future, is unable to work.

ALL HANDS...

This exhibition has come about because we, as Chaz's family and friends, think that it's time for an all-hands-on-deck approach to showcase some of his incredible paintings and digital artwork and put some of our personal collections up for sale, several of which are being shown for the very first time. Our aim is to see that through this auction and art sale new opportunities may be kick-started allowing Chaz to get back to his roots, passions and an easel as soon as possible.

ON DISPLAY

There will be something on sale and auction for all budgets from smaller A5 and A4 art prints, small canvases and much larger fine art original oil paintings. Chaz will be there on the night to help you choose the right pieces and sign his work.

OTHER ARTISTS

Many of Chaz's fellow network of artists and friends are also contributing to the show, so a wide variety of original art will be available on the evening, hopefully catering towards all tastes and leaving you with something beautiful to adorn your walls at home or work. These artists will be added over the next few weeks so be sure to check back here and our event page on Facebook for the latest updates.

REFRESHMENTS

Prosecco and canapés will be served on arrival. A bar will be open on the night.
